Is it too late to learn ballet?

Question

im 14

Answer 1

It's never too late, but you'll probably never wear toe shoes.  However, it's really fun and great exercise. :)

Answer 2

its never too late!

Answer 3

No,certainly not.

I still do ballet twice a week now,and I'm in 40`s and didn't start learning til i was in late 20`s.

I just joined an adult beginners class,but you could take private if you want.

Its expensive,so just pop along to an open adult class and see how you get on.

It may not be too late to even start if you want to dance as career,you could take ballet classes every night,and then do a uni or college dance degree.

If your dedicated and good and practise,you can still do it for a career,though only very few make it.

Good luck,don't be put off by being 14. :):)

I do pointe work and everything.

Answer 4

Nope.. You're still very young and you may even have a great career ahead of you!:)

Answer 5

No definitly not. You can learn it at any age.

Answer 6

of course its not too late! you can start at any age!!  I started ballet last year when i was 14 and this year i started pointe! its the best activity ive done..its soo much funn!!! and i've seen a big improvement in my dancing since last year!! so you should deff do it!! and have funn!!! ♥

Answer 7

Of course not!

Its not even too late to become a professional!! But you have to be very very very dedicated if that is your goal!

If you show that you have strength, and you work hard, you will get pointe shoes within the first year!

Ballet helps with all different dance types, and also gymnastics and ice-skating.  It helps you become aware of your body, and how you move.  

So find a good studio near you, explain to the teacher what your intentions are (if you are very serious, or if you just want to do it for fun or to gain strength and flexibility)

Good luck!

Answer 8

No, i am 40 in September and i am back playing/ learning cricket, and when i get the chance i will learn skiing, you are only to old when you think you are too old, better still, you are never too old to do what you want to do.

Answer 9

no, I got back at age 11  and I'm in a company for pointe and I'm 13

Answer 10

NO WAY! if u love to dance take ballet classes & be Fabulous

Answer 11

I started ballet when I was 22.  I was just doing it because I love the art and wanted to learn.  My teacher though did not start ballet till she was my age.  And 20 years later she was teaching it.  So no it is not too late to learn it.  You wont get into a college on ballet, or even into a big company like Boston Ballet, but you can get somewhere with it.  Local theater I'm sure.  If you are good and work really hard though.

Answer 12

no..... it is only if u wanted to be like a professional ballerina...but u could be a pro if u were REALLY dedicated......

but if u mean for fun or for flexibility its never too late !

Answer 13

It is never too late to do anything (ok well I am sure there are a few things but most things can be done by anyone) If you want to learn ballet than learn ballet and who knows you could be the next ballet star. You are never to old to experience life so get out there and try something new
